Even in this day and age in developed countries, there’s still an expectation that men ought to behave in a certain way. Instead of embracing the wide range of human emotions and interests, these men are told to be aggressive while avoiding any sort of vulnerability. This can lead to a lot of issues down the line. 

Redditor u/callmevicious sparked an important discussion on the internet after asking people to share the dumbest things they’ve ever heard someone say that ‘real men’ supposedly don’t do. And the idea that ‘real men’ don’t hug their sons is just the tip of the iceberg of toxicity… scroll down to see some of the other awful expectations guys have had set for them.

Bored Panda got in touch with the author of the thread, u/callmevicious, to get their thoughts on toxic and healthy masculinity. You'll find our interview with the OP as you read on.

“What's The Stupidest 'Real Men Don't…' You've Ever Heard?” (50 Answers) Real men don't put cream in their coffee. I responded with, "real men don't give a s**t what other men think of their beverage choices."

Black coffee for me (lactose intolerant), but i do not care what anyone else puts in their coffee. It's their coffee, I'm not drinking it.

Have you tried oat/almond milk? (If you’d like to add something to the coffee , of course). I really enjoy those alternatives and many cafés have them nowadays. Great options for those of us with allergies and intolerances.

    Well, despite that fact that I'm a 210 pound, masculine former rugby player who drives a pickup and has been married to the same woman for 31 years, i am in fact gay because: * I cook * I like a grande no-whip mocha * I wash my a*s * I say "Good morning" to other dudes * I sometimes drink fruity cocktails * I like chocolate, deserts and sometimes Luna bars * I use a rolling suitcase and wear sunscreen * I like the occassional rom-com and British period piece. Geez, it's amazing I'm not living in a bathhouse.... WTF?

    We wanted to get the thread author's thoughts on why their thread got so much attention on the internet. According to them, Reddit is "still male-dominated," which is why the topic made such a big splash.

    "We as a society haven't really focused much on the 'old school' pressures we still put on men to appear stoic/strong/etc.," they told Bored Panda.

    We asked redditor u/callmevicious about what could help someone become more aware that they might have toxic masculine values. "Repression leads to perversion. If you feel uncomfortable expressing certain emotions, that's something you need to work on," the OP shared their thoughts.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "A certain portion of the population still feels there is a social stigma attached to men expressing emotional vulnerability. It's when men bottle things up that they begin to feel desperate and feel compelled to reach out to the more extreme male-dominated, and toxic, corners of the internet, looking for understanding."

    Real men don't eat bananas. I just went to a bachelor party where I was the only gay man. I flew in from out of town so I asked the person buying the food for the weekend to get me some bananas for my breakfast. No one else would eat a banana that weekend. One guy even cracked a joke about how it was gay to eat a banana. When I eat a banana I'm thinking about a banana. If you think about a p***s when you see a banana, maybe you have some unresolved issues.

    I worked with a guy who ate a banana or 2 everyday and often he would ask me if I wanted a bite of his banana. It was ment as a double entendre for a certain sexual act. (Done in a joking, humorous way, not in a harassment way) Well one day, I leaned over and bit off about half of it. He had the shocked Pikachu face and said "YOU ATE MY BANANA!"

    Anything behind that is stupid. Literally anything. There is no such thing as "real men". If you identify as a man, you are a man, no matter what you wear, how you behave, what you do for a living and what gender your partner is. This "real men don't" should go die in a fire, no matter what follows behind it.

    It‘s the opposite where I live. In fact, us housewives make desserts or buy ice-cream in strorage ESPECIALLY for our men. It‘s commonly known and lovingly joked about, that men have more of a „sweet tooth“ than women. This cliché is even used for a chocolate commercial. So basically here it would rather be „unmanly“ not to like cake‘n‘ candy! 😂

    Meanwhile, the redditor shed some light on the main signs of someone who has embraced healthy masculinity. In their opinion, dignity and integrity are the most vital.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "Respect for yourself and others, particularly those who may be more vulnerable or face more of a struggle than you do. Having a sense of community is crucial; feeling both responsible for and needed by those around you," they said.

    "One of the most oft-cited quotes on Reddit is, 'A child that is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth.' A lot of these guys feel not only isolated but unwanted. The only solution for it is to leave your keyboard and actually interact with people, without the buffer of a screen between you."

    I'm sure he was in there shopping for his wife. But if he were in Lowes and someone asked if he was shopping for his wife, he'd probably say that "boys don't shop for their wives."

    Early in our relationship my husband was like that. When he saw just how much I saved using coupons, which freed up that amount of the grocery budget for other, extra things, he started using coupons. He also started out being leery of buying feminine products for me. When I pointed out that it signaled the fact that he was in a real relationship with a real woman, he started being downright proud to buy them for me. Girlfriends, it’s all in how you spin it to men. Simple as that.

    Change diapers. We had four kids and I was a union steel worker. I took a withdrawal on the union card because the cost of daycare for children was just ridiculous, so my wife, who was a school teacher carried the benefits and I stayed home with our last kid. I had more than one ironworker tell me that real men don’t change diapers. I asked them what they would do if their kid had a dirty diaper, and they all said the same thing. They would have to sit in it until the wife got home. It was then I realized how ignorant these guys were.

    My grandpa hunted tigers, played hockey, was a crack shot, was a counter-espionage operative in WWII and generally lived a life straight out of the kind of deeply-problematic, mid-century, boy's own adventure that these idiots would salivate over. He also changed diapers, fed babies, and generally cared for my sister and me while my parents were working. If it was good enough for him it's good enough for any of these insecure manly men.

    Pretty sure that qualifies as neglect and abuse. The child would develop a horrible and painful rash that could eventually eat away at the tissue down to the bone. Especially if the child poops in the morning shortly after mom leaves and has to sit in it for 8+ hours 5 days a week..do these "men" hate their children? Wtf is wrong with some people

    The r/AskReddit thread made a massive splash on the internet. At the time of writing, Reddit user u/callmevicious’ question had 24k upvotes. The topic was incredibly popular, which just goes to show that toxic masculinity is still alive and kicking in this day and age. On the flip side, more men are aware of the dangers it poses.

    Verywell Mind points out that toxic masculinity creates “extreme pressure” to behave in ways that are detrimental to their emotional, mental, and physical health. These men are expected to act tough, be aggressive, reject anything even closely resembling femininity, and strive to attain power and status.

    A huge problem with toxic masculinity is that it glorifies unhealthy habits. There’s a warped belief that self-care is meant for women only and that men should just tough things out. The result is that some men avoid going to see doctors when they run into health issues. They also avoid seeking a therapist’s help when they’re struggling with their mental and emotional health because they see it as a sign of weakness.

    Meanwhile, the more a man embraces toxic masculinity, the more they are to engage in risky behaviors, from heavy drinking and using tobacco to avoiding veggies and greens. Combine that with the unwillingness to ask for help when health issues pop up and you have a disaster waiting to strike.

    In 1918 the trade publication Earnshaw’s Infants’ Department claimed the “generally accepted rule is pink for the boys, and blue for the girls. The reason is that pink, being a more decided and stronger color, is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl.” (https://www.britannica.com/story/has-pink-always-been-a-girly-color)

    Business Insider spoke to writer, lecturer, and colour expert Gavin Evans about the reversal of pink and blue on traditional gender roles. Read the full transcript below: "In the early part of the 20th Century and the late part of the 19th Century, in particular, there were regular comments advising mothers that if you want your boy to grow up masculine, dress him in a masculine colour like pink and if you want your girl to grow up feminine dress her in a feminine colour like blue." "This was advice that was very widely dispensed with and there were some reasons for this. Blue in parts of Europe, at least, had long been associated as a feminine colour because of the supposed colour of the Virgin Mary’s outfit." "Pink was seen as a kind of boyish version of the masculine colour red. So it gradually started to change however in the mid-20th Century and eventually by about 1950, there was a huge advertising campaign by several advertising agencies pushing pink as exclusively feminine"

    Bought my ex a salmon-coloured Looney Toons shirt (normal T but the pocket was embroidered to look like it was full of LT characters).

    “What's The Stupidest 'Real Men Don't…' You've Ever Heard?” (50 Answers) 1. My cousin was working at a chocolate shop and said a guy barged in asking for "chocolate for MEN." She never did figure out what he was talking about. 2. My grandfather firmly believed real men didn't smile in photos. Smiling = gay in his mind (needless to say he was a homophobe).

    Yorkie bars in the UK used to be advertised as being for real men back in the 80s. They were thick and chunky chocolate bars, so obviously too chunky for delicate female hands or mouths (the actual chocolate it was made from was utterly disgusting, like cheap waxy cooking chocolate)

    Broadly speaking, toxic men tend to hold sexist ideals. They tend to think that men are ‘superior’ to women and, so, avoid expressing their emotions, doing housework, and being involved in childcare. This extends to the type of interests, hobbies, and careers ‘real men’ can have. Someone with a toxic masculinity mindset might think, for instance, that anyone who is into dancing, sewing, cooking, or works as a nurse may not be as tough or worthy of respect as others. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    These very same men also usually hold homophobic beliefs, often try to intimidate or bully others into submission, and are resistant to change. However, change is very much possible. And it starts with more self-awareness, and the willingness to ask oneself why they’re behaving the way that they are. Embracing the full range of human feelings and asking for help are not signs of weakness. Quite the opposite—they show a man is honest with himself, and has the strength, maturity, self-confidence, and resilience to be vulnerable when needed.

    “What's The Stupidest 'Real Men Don't…' You've Ever Heard?” (50 Answers) Not sure if it counts, but a young woman wouldn’t sell me a Luna Bar because it’s made for women. I said “No. It’s marketed to women. But I like this flavor.” She said “I can’t sell it to you. It has estrogen in it.” We had a frustrating back and forth before I finally convinced her that I was willing to take the risk and she sold it to me.

    Not her call - plus she is wrong. Luna bars do not contain estrogen. They contain soy protein which can mimic estrogen but studies suggest to affect a man the amounts have to be pretty huge. Ingredients are - Protein Grain Blend (Rolled Oats (Organic Ingredient), Soy Protein Isolate, Rice Flour (Organic Ingredient), Roasted Soybeans (Organic Ingredient), Soy Flour (Organic Ingredient)), Brown Rice Syrup (Organic Ingredient), Cane Sugar (Organic Ingredient), Chicory Fiber Syrup, High Oleic Sunflower Oil (Organic Ingredient), ...

    “What's The Stupidest 'Real Men Don't…' You've Ever Heard?” (50 Answers) "Hug their sons." My dad hugged my brother for the first time when he was 18 and graduated high school. Dad was raised by his parents to not show outwardly love towards his children because that would "spoil" us. Our childhood was...odd. First and last time I saw my dad cry was when his bird hunting dog died. As he dug the hole to bury it in their backyard. The older generations were tougher, sure, but I know my dad would have benefited greatly from being hugged more as a child. That s**t gets passed down.

    My dad hugged us until my older brother was 12 and shrugged him off, told him he hated to be hugged. He got the idea that boys didn't need hugging. Not abuse, a good, loving dad, but off with the hugs. Fast-forward to me, 32, and he and my mom helped me to get the divorce my wife was demanding, and I told him that when I got home, he'd better stand by. He was waiting at the door, and we hugged, and he was a hug bear for the rest of his life. Just needed to be told it was okay. I wish I' could go back and have my 10 yo self tell him, "Daddy, I still want to be hugged."

He done his fair share and we come from a mining village so they all called him gay for putting washing out on the line. They only stopped after my dad punched another kids dad when he came thinking he could take him. He always showed us love and so does my mam walkways say love you etc.

    They were definitely NOT tougher. I grew up in Israel in the 1870s, and it was a pretty macho place, and men demonstrated physical affection, including to other men, men cried openly, etc. This included men who were combat veterans, so I'm talking about men who have proved their toughness by every measure possible. It's a dumb Northern European/English thing that equates "being an emotional cripple" with "being tough".

    Yeah. When I was in my mid-20s I decided to teach my dad to give hug instead of shaking hands. At first he obviously felt it was super awkward. But we did reach a point where he felt peace enough in it to initiate hugs with me. :) my grandma was a tough woman who did not like emotions and showing affection. So that was pary of her legacy. To not show that type of affection to her sons. And when I realized this I made it my quest to teach my dad to hug. 😁

Years later, after the divorce and my ex went to Annapolis to see my son after plebe summer, my son met him with a hug - when my ex was telling me that, his eyes teared up. SEE??????????? I knew what I was talking about. Meant the world to both of them.

    If you’re so insecure about your masculinity that you think a goddamned movie could make you gay——something that just IS about you, not something you can catch, either from another person or a movie.

I get it, I am a boomer, so I know roles and rules are very different in 2023 as opposed to say, 1973! The person interviewed in that article named Jordon Peterson and Andrew Tate as very negative influences in this fight/discussion/crisis. (Whatever you want to name it.). She said she felt Peterson had initially had his heart in the right place and kind of got derailed. Tate, as far as she was concerned, had never been anything but hateful and misogynistic. That struck me as an accurate analysis.

    “What's The Stupidest 'Real Men Don't…' You've Ever Heard?” (50 Answers) I was told that really men never look at their nails with their palm down and would only ever look at their nails with their palm up and fingers curled. I gotta wonder how secure in your masculinity you've got to be to spend time even thinking about the right way to look at your nails.

    What if they're having a tantrum and slap the table and accidentally catch sight of their nails and suddenly - poof! - not a real man.

    Real men don't look at their nails at all. If it gets too long, they rip them out and proceed to beat their chest until the blood clots then they go about their day.

    I don't understand how everyone's criticising the "real men don't" attitude but then go "is it gay to", as if being gay also makes you "not a real man"? I know it's meant sarcastically, but it feels weirdly dismissive to gay men.

    "Real men don't speak French" When we were kids, my mother would speak to us in French and my dad in English. By pure coincidence, every other bilingual couple we knew was doing it the same way around. So when my little brother was 4, he decided men spoke English and women spoke French. He still understood French perfectly, but he refused to speak it. He'd also burst into tears when he heard an adult speaking the wrong language for their gender. My mother told the school about this when she registered him for kindergarten. They put him in a class with a male francophone teacher and he got over himself pretty quickly.

    This is a child's misunderstanding. At this age they are trying to understand and compartmentalise the world. What they observed was women speak French, men do not. The conclusion was 'I am male, therefore I should not speak French.' Thankfully when the child was shown evidence to the contrary they revised their conclusion.

The women all read the complete list first and then sat down doing nothing. Turns out that the first instruction said "read the whole list before you start" then all kinds of silly instructions followed like dance like a monkey and put on a dress, and the last instruction was "now sit down and do nothing" All the men fell for it, none of the women did :-D

    We were discussing colonial attire in the British colonies on the North American continent in the 1600s and 1700s. One of my high school students asked, in all honesty, why they all dressed so gay. He didn't mean, looking back on it today, the style from 400 years ago looks gay compared to our modern style. He meant, through all of time, only gay men dress like that. This is same kid that said there were no gay men in the (US) military in WWII because "they didn't do that back then". Like, gay had only been around 60 years?

    Real men don't put others first. I have a big family and a lot of my siblings have problems. I do my best to help them, even if it means putting their needs ahead of mine. My ex-fiance thought this made me weak. A real man doesn't take care of other people, he puts himself first and takes what he wants. Going out of my way to help my brother, lending him money when he needed it, spending time giving him advice, made me a little b***h in her eyes. We're no longer together.

    This sounds more like his ex preferred he spend his money on her instead of helping his brother. That could be a valid complaint, especially if “ lot of my siblings have problems” = “a lot of my siblings are substance-abusing, work-shy moochers.” But accusations of homosexuality as a go-to manipulation tactic is, of course, not just a red flag. The flag is checkered: it’s over.

    Have done a number of times. Rarely to anyone I was in a long term relationship with but a few times over the years where the woman was willing but there were other reasons I realized it wasn't a good idea. And to summarize - I mean not a good idea for the woman. I didn't have protection, or she'd been drinking some and I don't mix chemicals with first time sex. Another was just a situation where I thought the girl was super cute but I knew I was leaving town (military) so a relationship would not be fair. Stuff like that.

    Major Allison Digby Tatham-Warter DSO was a British Army officer (Parachute Regiment) who fought in WWII and was famed for wearing a bowler hat and carrying an umbrella into battle. During the battle of Arnhem, Digby wore his maroon beret instead of a helmet and waved his umbrella while walking about the defences despite heavy mortar fire. When the Germans started using tanks to cross the bridge, Digby led a bayonet charge against them wearing a bowler hat. He later disabled a German armoured car with his umbrella, incapacitating the driver by shoving the umbrella through the car's observational slit and poking the driver in the eye.

    The bowler was originally intended as a practical hat that gave protection to the hard - it's hard and pretty rigid. It was popular among people riding to hounds when fox hunting because of the protection it offered. So not quite the grade of a military helmet, but a more sensible choice than you might imagine.

    I don't even get this one. Is it because of the nuts? "Real men" don't like the taste of nuts? Whatever the reason, it's dumb.

    If you're this far down the insecurity rabbit hole then you probably believe "real men" don't cook or grocery shop either. If you're not allowed to make a sandwich with condiments then you're just going to starve.

They don´t have to know everything you do at any time, sometimes you just wanna be alone for a bit. the attitude described in the post sounds kinda weird/rude, yes, But the opposite, telling them every time you leave is also weird.

    What I hate when it comes to chocolate is that sometimes the really dark ones, with like 80% cocoa or something are marketed as "Men´s chocolate" while white chocolate is supposedly "Women´s chocolate". Or chips, where the mens flavor is like "carolina ghost pepper" or some other super spicy sh*t while the womens flavor is something interesting sounding like "Butter chicken curry". I am Guy and I hate dark chocolate and spicy stuff. Not that these labels stop me from buying the "girly" stuff, but it still annoys me.

    I don't know how anyone can sleep on their stomach. It is so uncomfortable for me. One summer I got a horrible sunburn on my back so I was forced to sleep on my stomach and I really didn't get much sleep.

    Side or stomach all the way. The only people sleeping on their backs are comatose in ICU or restraint psychopaths

    Real men don't wear lotion or chapstick.

    Then he can forget any woman ever wanting to kiss his nasty, dry, crackly, bleeding lips.

    Because ashy legs and chapped lips are a turn on?

    I consider myself a real man and I do a lot of these things so called real men don't do. .

    My late husband was lotion-adverse but he did use Carmex. When he developed diabetes in his later years he started using lotion. He never wanted to use lotion before then because after you got out of the shower you were 'done'. He didn't want to be 'wasting time' doing something he saw as unimportant.

    Try living in the great white north without chapstick, your lips would look like crusty dried out cherry jello.
